There is no scientific evidence for the Genesis myth, nor for the myth of a young earth.
Those stories are ancient tribal myths. One might as believe in the myth of a flat earth.
There has been, however, cited evidence of the credibility of the Biblical record, which does not literally depict a young earth.
There is no credible evidence for a young earth. None.
There is a massive amount of evidence for an old earth.
The Genesis account is tribal myth, subject to multiple interpretations depending on
belief. It is not hypothesis or theory, both of which are subject to, or the result of, testing against empirical evidence.
All hypotheses and theories have their problematic improbabilities.
Not sure what this means. If you are saying that scientific theories are tentative, well, we all know that.
If you are saying that scientific theories are just random guesswork unsupported by factual evidence and successful predictions, you are incorrect. In spite of what a lot of creationists may tell you, "theory" does not mean "guesswork."
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
